Human embryonic stem cells
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) provide a potentially unlimited source of oral mucosal tissues that may revolutionize the treatment of oral diseases. view more (2009-04-06)
Magnetic nano-'shepherds' organize cells
The power of magnetism could be an enabling technology to address a major problem facing bioengineers as they try to create new tissue-getting human cells to not only form structures, but to stimulate the growth of blood vessels to nourish their growth. view more (2009-04-01)

National Showcase of Science Engineering and Technology
Researchers from University, Government and Industrial laboratories will be taking science to the heart of government in the first national showcase of science, engineering and technology, to be held at the House of Commons. On Monday 15 March, over 300 younger researchers from institutions throughout Britain, will present posters at two House of... view more... (1999-03-05)
Key to snoring and sleep disordered breathing may lie in neck muscle bulk
The reason why men tend to snore more and suffer more sleep disordered breathing (apnoea) than women, may lie in their neck muscles, finds research in Thorax. view more (1999-03-19)
Bone marrow stem cells may help control inflammatory bowel disease
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators have found that infusions of a particular bone marrow stem cell appeared to protect gastrointestinal tissue from autoimmune attack in a mouse model. view more (2008-08-21)
Researchers grow stem cells from human skin
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have successfully isolated stem cells from human skin, expanded them in the laboratory and coaxed them into becoming fat, muscle and bone cells. The study, one of the first studies to show the ability of a single adult stem cell to become multiple tissue types, is reported today in Stem... view more... (2005-06-23)
A new approach to growing heart muscle
It looks, contracts and responds almost like natural heart muscle - even though it was grown in the lab. And it brings scientists another step closer to the goal of creating replacement parts for damaged human hearts, or eventually growing an entirely new heart from just a spoonful of loose heart cells. view more (2006-12-08)
MIT: Novel needle could cut medical complications
Each year, hundreds of thousands of people suffer medical complications from hypodermic needles that penetrate too far under their skin. view more (2009-04-03)
New sensor provides simpler measurement of eye pressure
On Friday, May 31, Anders Eklund, Department of Radiation Sciences, Medical Technology, Ume'å University, Sweden, will defend his dissertation evaluating a new and simpler instrument for measuring the pressure of eye fluids, a key risk factor in glaucoma. Anders Eklund has a master's in engineering and works at the Unit for Medical... view more... (2002-05-28)
Engineering and education - it's good news"¦ and bad
The number of British undergraduates studying engineering is up by six per cent in the last ten years - but their 'drop-out' rate before graduation exceeded that of any other subject. This picture of good news countered by bad emerges from a focus on engineering and education in the Engineering Council's latest annual Digest of Engineering... view more... (2001-03-21)
Man's best friend is his yeast
Man's best friend is not his dog - it's his yeast, according to Professor Steve Oliver from the University of Manchester, speaking at the BA Festival of Science in Glasgow today [3rd September 2001]. For more than 6,000 years mankind has used yeast to bake bread, brew beer and ferment wine - but today it's scientists who are using the... view more... (2001-08-30)
Adult stem cells are touchy-feely, need environmental clues
A certain type of adult stem cell can turn into bone, muscle, neurons or other types of tissue depending on the "feel" of its physical environment. view more (2006-08-25)
MIT researchers offer glimpse of rare mutant cells
MIT biological engineers have developed a new imaging system that allows them to see cells that have undergone a specific mutation. view more (2008-07-22)
Eye tissue shortage endangers clinical research's future
The future of clinical ophthalmology may be endangered by the decline in the number of human donor eyes provided by U.S. eye banks. view more (2006-07-12)
Cancer stem cells similar to normal stem cells can thwart anti-cancer agents
Current cancer therapies often succeed at initially eliminating the bulk of the disease, including all rapidly proliferating cells, but are eventually thwarted because they cannot eliminate a small reservoir of multiple-drug-resistant tumor cells, called cancer stem cells, which ultimately become the source of disease recurrence and eventual... view more...

Growing Nerve Cells in 3-D Dramatically Affects Gene Expression
When it comes to growing cells in a lab, technique matters. A new Brown University study shows that nerve cells grown in three-dimensional cultures use 1,766 genes differently compared to nerve cells grown in standard two-dimensional petri dishes. view more (2007-05-17)
A step toward tissue-engineered heart structures for children
Infants and children receiving artificial heart-valve replacements face several repeat operations as they grow, since the replacements become too small and must be traded for bigger ones. Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have now developed a solution: living, growing valves created in the lab from a patient's own cells. view more (2007-09-13)
More students than ever before studying engineering and physical sciences at degree level
More students than ever before have been accepted onto science and engineering related degree courses this autumn, according to the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Science is also now the most popular subject at school according to a new poll of children aged 5 to 18. view more (2009-10-23)
Case School of Engineering professor applies virtual reality simulation to train world's brain and heart surgeons
Virtual reality simulation tools are already revolutionizing the way dentists are taught at Case Western Reserve University. view more (2006-03-02)
